Do you? This is unusual, I have clients connected to freenode for many
weeks at a time. Maybe we should discuss this offline to better debug
which kind of issues you are having.

I have always considered this an irssi misfeature. :-)
(Anyway, it can be easily corrected.)

The purpose of such a script is to automatically identify you to
nickserv at connection time. Actually, you do not even need a script for
freenode: just configure your client to use the nickserv password as the
server password (if you use irssi: /help server).
This is documented in the network FAQs, in the section "What's the
easiest way to identify to nickserv when I connect to freenode?":
http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#identify .

Currently spam is not a major issue. OFTC AFAIK is currently not a
target of turkish kiddies, but this could change any day like it
happened to freenode.
